GTU Conference on Good Governance (GCGG-2013)

According to Noble Laureate Michael Spence, in the third phase of Industrial Revolution, the developing
economies are growing at three times the rate of their predecessors. A large organization, be it a government or multi-national corporation, has a congregation of various stakeholders. Every organization is designed for and exists to satisfy certain organizational and societal goals. It can succeed in meeting its goals only if the organization provides good governance for the organization itself and for all its stakeholders. An organization should be fair and transparent to each of its stakeholders and it should be effective in its working. This has become imperative in todays globalized world, where every organization needs to access pools of resource capital globally and needs to attract and retain the best human capital across its entire environment. Unless a large organization embraces

and demonstrates effective governance, it will not be able to succeed.

The concept of "governance" is not new. Recently the terms "governance" and "good governance" are being increasingly used in the literature, studies and researches on development. Governance is both the process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are implemented (or not implemented). Governance can be used in several contexts such as corporate governance, international governance systems, national governance and local governance. An analysis of governance focuses on the formal and the informal factors involved in decision-making and implementing the decisions made. Regulators, courts and investors frequently extol the virtues of 'good corporate governance' in organizations but often fail to define exactly what that means. Good governance has eight major characteristics i.e. participatory,

consensus-oriented, accountable, transparent, responsive, effective and efficient, equitable and inclusive
and following the rule of law. Many companies believe in these principles and conduct their businesses while living by the eight principles. While the tone for good governance has to be set from the top, the principles have to be embedded into the culture of the organization at every level of these companies.

With the advancement of technological age and unprecedented growth of industries and services, it is a myth that good business is only about taking care of legal compliance. In todays environment, companies must realize that they can also make good governance their competitive advantage. As Justice Owen, the Royal Commissioner, who enquired into the collapse of HIH Insurance, warned: "Systems and structures can provide an environment conducive to good corporate governance practices. But at the end of the day it is the acts or omissions of the people charged with relevant responsibilities that will determine whether governance objectives are in fact achieved. Good governance is an important component of socio-economic development. Challenges like instability, the depletion of the financial and human resources, deterioration of public management and so on impose a dire need for the practices of good governance at the level of each state. Legislative bodies and parliaments can play effective role in promoting good governance in cooperation with the specialized regulatory systems, with the need to avoid overlapping between the narrow political criteria and the requirements of accountability of such system. It can also be used as a tool to help governments, businesses and civil societies to fight corruption. Good governance can minimize corruption. It ensures that the views of all the stake-holders are taken into account and that the voices of the most vulnerable in society are heard in decision-making. It is also responsive to the present and future needs of society. Good corporate governance is an ideal which is difficult to achieve in its totality. However, to ensure sustainable human development, actions must be taken to work towards this ideal with the aim of making it a reality. According to Niccolo Machiavelli, there is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things. But an organization can sustain itself only if it is structured for continuous innovation.
